As reported by us earlier poet and filmmaker Leena Manimegalai has made the shocking allegation on director Susi Ganesan of rape attempt in 2005.  She has claimed in a social media post that Susi Ganesan under the pretext of dropping her home at 9.30 pm had used central lock on his car and forcibly snatched and switched off her cell phone.  She had further claimed that she saved her modesty by flashing a pen knife that she carried in her purse.

Susi Ganesan reacting to the allegations has stated that Leena Manimegalai asked him for a chance to write lyrics in his films and also requested him to accept her as his assistant director.  Since he was unable to do both he has said that he has been targetted.  The 'Kandaswamy' director has likened Manimegalai's attempt to tarnish his image as that of a pig in a slush feeling envious of a person wearing a clean white attire.  He has also commented that the frustration of failure in personal as well as proffessional life has prompted Leena to make such false allegations against a successful person such as himself.

Susi Ganesan has warned that he is filing a defamation case against Manimegalai and the money that he gets from it will be used against all women who misuse the Me Too movement for personal gains and raise false allegations to take revenge on innocent men especially celebrities.  He has closed off by stating that the tears that his family members are shedding due to this undesirable issue will be wiped by his win in the court of law.
